LEGO Neo Constructicon Long Haul
Posted: Sat Nov 12, 2011 8:43 amA quick recap:
Long Haul is the 3rd "chapter" in my quest to build all 6 members of the Constructicons using LEGO, and make 'em combine into Devastator , hopefully with fair amount of articulation.

Ok.. returning back to Long Haul, lets just say I'm nearly at wits end trying to build him. The wheels are particularly cumbersome in robot mode. You can't believe how many attempts I made to position them so that they won't hinder the 'bot articulation. At one point I even thought of trying a radical idea for the dump truck... REPLACING back wheels with tread (turning him into a halftrack!?) , but I can't bear to see the outcome of such build.
Anyway... here goes some photos.
